Introduction

Agilent B2900 Series

Agilent B2900 is a series of precision SMU (source/measure unit, SMU). B2900

provides the LCD, front panel keys, and rotary knob for applying voltage/current or

measuring voltage/current/resistance. B2900 also supports several functions, such

as sweep output, pulse output, arbitrary waveform generation, limit test, trace buffer,

math expressions, and graph plot. Hence, B2900 can be used as a DC (constant)

voltage/current source, sweep voltage/current source, pulse generator, arbitrary

waveform generator, and multimeter.

The product lineup of the Agilent B2900 series includes the following products.
